Yes! i have a garage, but i am building a floor heated new garage attached to the house! hopefully ready next year!

update on the truck, it has been so long!

The painter didn't do his job properly so he is doing the entire front a second time. i have the wiring mostly done and working!
The best news is:
I found a restored 302 with AFR trick flow heads, hydraulic rollers good timing and ordered alle the rest i need!
it is going to be shiny and new! truck should be running next summer

Also ordered a Detroit locker, msd ignition, rear sway bar, fan controller and some other cool small thinks!
christmas is going to be sweet this year

She looks really good. Wild to see a BMW pulling a bump, but gotta do what you gotta do!! Can't wait to see more.

That looks so good


Shame i didnt put the engine offset and now i need to cut up the mounts! Not a fan of the no limit wide ride mounting instructions!! Even their transmission mount needs cutting

[ButtaBean]

That is a fine looking set up, sir!

Looks very nice wedged in the engine bay. Can't wait for more!
